How did you choose your username and why?

[SylverReZ]

I chose my username, combining the name of a Wii modchip and the highest screen resolution you can go up to via the system properties (aka max resolution).

 

[Jayro]

Well I started off as Jay Ro, which is my first two government-given names, each shortened. Then I merged them together as JayRo by asking a mod to change my name. Then I did one final name change request to a mod again, and I've been Jayro ever since. Tacked on the name Jones to the end, thanks to Coraline Jones, and "Jayro Jones" was born.

And if you google Jayro Jones, you'll find me all over the internet.

 

[SAIYAN48]

I like DBZ and 48.

 

[PocketmonStar7]

Took my old Nintendo Network name, LittlePokemon★, and tried to make it punny. Sadly, you (apparently?) can't have altcode as part of your username.

 

[The Catboy]

I am Catboy

 

[DragonMals]

My original allias was MaliDragon2006. Mali comes from how it's a common short name for Malachi, the Dragon came from my obsession with Dragons after my obsession with Freedom Planet when I was 9-10, and 2006 was the year that I was born (still wished for the admins to reflect that on my information instead of it saying 1998, never lie about your age)

And with my new (and better) allias: DragonMals. Dragon is the same reason while Mals has been a name my family usually calls me, and now I have other people either calling me Mals or Mali which is the best of both worlds.

I have a much older third one, but I won't explain that because quite literally it goes against the rules of the internet by having almost your whole name mentioned in it.

 

[Xdqwerty]

Xdqwerty is one of my several usernames i have online.
My first one iirc is Cjc19901; "cjc" are my initials while I put 19901 thinking of 1991 even though I was not born that year.

The other one is drcj; when i was a kid I wanted to be a doctor and cj are my initials (again).

and xdqwerty; the "xd" slang and emoticon and the qwerty keyboard layout

 

[Flame]

I'm a hot person.

 

[hippy dave]

I bought it off some dude named hippy dave for a tenner.

 

[SylverReZ]

I am Catboy

Where did you get all of your previous usernames from? I remember you used to be called Lilith Valentine and Crystal the Glaceon.

Was Hippy Dave a true hippy?

 

[The Catboy]

Where did you get all of your previous usernames from? I remember you used to be called Lilith Valentine and Crystal the Glaceon.

Now those are interesting stories! Lilith came from my previous fursona, which was an adopt my ex-boyfriend bought me.

@WeedZ actually gave her the name Lilith

Valentine came from @Sonic Angel Knight

The name later went to Lilith Valentine, the agender and asexual cubi (sex demon)

Crystal the Glaceon, well my name was Crystal and Glaceon is cute. So Crystal the Glaceon, who looked like this

And was an AFAB femboy Glaceon

 

[DTApple]

From late 2022 onwards, I have been doing development work as '_AppleDev' with other platforms being 'DefinitelyTheApple.' Sometime in 2023, I shortened it to just 'DTApple. I try to keep my usernames consistent. So you can easily find me online that way. As for the 'Apple' bit, that goes back to late 2017.

 

[hippy dave]

Was Hippy Dave a true hippy?

Breathed in weed, breathed out patchouli.

 

[PrincessLillie]

My self-named OC is a princess
That's where my current username came from

 

[AncientBoi]

Ancient, for my Oldness duh

and Boi, for being a kid at heart still

 

[reha]

Literally my own name... nothing complicated

 

[Hayato213]

and Boi, for being a kid at heart still

In your heart you are forever 18.

 

[bazamuffin]

Bazamuffin is actually my nickname. Came from the old flash cartoon "Lenore The Cute Little Dead Girl". My favourite character is Ragamuffin, Baz is my name so Baz + Ragamuffin = Bazamuffin.

 

[Tom Bombadildo]

I mentioned my birthday is the same day as Bilbo/Frodo Baggins, so rogue (then) Supervisor @Vulpes Abnocto decided it would be humorous to change my username to Tom Bombadildo. I liked it so much I decided to keep it, and use it now pretty much everywhere I sign up. That was nearly 6 7 11 years ago now I think

 

[ZenIsFluffy]

Years back when Lego Universe entered Free-To-Play one of the limitations was using an a player name based on 3 banks of words. I mashed random a few times and got the word Zen for the first one. Since then people in online games called me “Zen” so that name stuck! I’ve used several variations of it since and they always include Zen. It’s became my online identity. Current variation is ZenTheFox or ZenIsFluffy since I’m more furry now.
